The Perfect Family Beach Day from Myrtle Mist

300 steps from the beach

With the beach one block away and a backyard built for fun, you barely need the car. Here's how a lot of our families spend their days.

Morning: down to the sand

Load up the beach wagon with chairs and toys. Both are at the house. Then walk the 300 steps to the beach. Mornings are the calmest time for little ones to splash and dig.

"Quick walk to the beach and equipped with everything you would need for the beach." (Chelsea, Airbnb)

Midday: rinse and swim

Come back for lunch, rinse off at the outdoor shower, and jump straight into the pool.

There are plenty of pool toys and floats, and a covered patio with an outdoor TV for the grown-ups.

Step into relaxation paradise on our outdoor patio overlooking the shimmering swimming pool. Whether you're soaking up the sun's warmth or enjoying a refreshing breeze, this is the perfect spot to unwind and take in the serene beauty of your surroundings.

Afternoon: mini golf and the game room

When the kids need a break from the sun:

  • Play the mini golf course in the backyard.
  • Head to the game room for billiards, air hockey, foosball and the arcade.
  • Grab a controller in the TV room: a 75" screen, an Xbox and 4 controllers.

Evening: out or in

  • Go out: Barefoot Landing is about 6 minutes away, with restaurants and shops on the water.
  • Stay in: fire up the BBQ grill, eat at the dining table for 8, then make s'mores at the fire pit.
